Buying

There are many ways of buying at auction - in fact it has never been easier.

Viewing Day:

This is the day prior to the sale from 10-8pm and are open to the public
to inspect the items in the auction. Illustrated catalogues with descriptions and guide prices
are available for purchase and are recommended.

Registration:

Prospective purchasers are required to provide their name, full address
and contact details.
ID may also be required.

Ways of buying:

Attend the Sale:

Bid in person, the traditional method. Enjoy the atmosphere and theatre
of the live auction and give yourself the best chance of securing the items you are interested in.

Leave a Bid - Commission Bidding:

If you cannot attend the sale but would like to bid
on item/s, we can bid on your behalf. This is known as a commission bid and is a free service.
You can fill in a commission bid form with details of the lot number/s you would like to bid on
and your maximum bid.

We execute the bids as cheaply as possible depending on reserves and
other bids.

No liability rests with Adam Partridge Ltd and instructions to buy will not be accepted.
